Could Disney be on the cusp of creating its first gay princess? Idina Menzel hopes so.

On Sunday, the 44-year-old star who voices Frozen‘s “Elsa,” told reporters at the Billboard Music Awards ceremony that she thinks the prospect of the hit animated film’s protagonist having a girlfriend is “great.”

In a post for MTV, Moncado — who created the site Feminist Culture — wrote that the post was inspired by the fact that audiences have “never been able to see the purity in a queer relationship.” She believes that “many in the LGBT community view Frozen as a metaphor for the experience of coming out and accepting who you are.”
